**Gary Wilson had mentioned a book titled “Confessions of a Medical Heretic.” Though presently reading, [“Bechamp or Pasteur?: A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology”](https://www.amazon.ca/Bechamp-Pasteur-Chapter-History-Biology/dp/1467900125), I did get a copy of the *“Confessions…. “* book.**  **While flipping through the book, a specific footnote stood out, appearing on Pgs 154/155. A reference to and quotation from a piece written in 1978 called [“The Medicalization of Politics”](https://resources.depaul.edu/abcd-institute/publications/Documents/1978_MedicalizationOfPolitics.pdf)(pdf link)**
